[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry for the loss of your mother.

I would take a break from her. And tell her the last straw was her behavior to your daughter. You don’t need to make the decision today that the break is permanent. I would do my best to not go nuclear in the discussion - but rather be direct and indifferent.

Also, while your sister’s normal behavior seems to be rooted in jealousy, I would cut her a tiny break here as she is grieving too. A tiny one.[/quote]

What do I say about the Friday dinner?

DH thinks I should give her another chance but I really don’t want her and DD together anytime soon. [/quote]
I would tell her that what she said to your daughter at the funeral is why she is uninvited from the Friday dinner. Be clear that you need time to deal with that behavior and you will contact her when you are ready to have a calm discussion about your relationship. Unless you can be calm now (I would not be which is why I suggest just ending the invite for Friday dinners for now) to discuss her prior treatment of you and why you are stepping away from having a relationship with her.
